Here is a retrogaming 'blast' from the past (pun intended). This classic Sega TV commercial for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) features a big use of their buzz word "Blast Processing" which "was originally coined in reference to the Yamaha VDP graphics processor's DMA unit "blasting" data at high speeds". Part of the classic 16-bit wars, Sega and Nintendo were at each other's neck with 1up-ing the other!
